Fantastic swells, flat beaches, and plenty of exciting activities for visitors make Oceanside a popular destination for tourists, surfers, and families.
Known for its surf and skate culture, Oceanside played a major role in surfing’s rise to popularity decades ago. Consistent waves make Oceanside a favorite destination for surfers of all types, including pros. The city frequently hosts surf competitions of all levels – from up-and-coming groms to international events such as the Roxy Supergirl Surf Pro. The Pier juts off the coast of downtown and is an epic spot to fish, watch the surf or enjoy the view.
Oceanside Beaches
Tyson St. Beach is a fantastic spot to to surf in Oceanside. This is a family-friendly beach area just south of the Pier that also has bathrooms and a playground. In between swells or in the summer especially, the waves are often smooth, small. The consistent whitewater here provides awesome waves for beginners.
Another favorite beach of ours for surfing in Oceanside is the Oceanside Harbor Beach. This is the most consistent break in North County, San Diego. A swell magnet, the harbor beach gets swell and waves all year round. This beach has plenty of space on the sand and in the water, and there are fire pits on the beach for a full day of fun!
